If you want a professional and well supported system, but don't need commercial support, CentOS is the way to go: http://www.centos.org CentOS is a free version of Redhat's Enterprise Linux and is available for several platforms, including amd64. Everything that is certified for RHEL will run without problems on CentOS. The current version is 4.4 but a new version of RHEL is expected to be released during the next weeks (which will be followed by a new version of CentOS). If you want an entirely free system with a large software repository and don't care for certifications from software or hardware vendors, I'd strongly recommend Debian Etch (will be the "stable" release in a short while). Commercial support is available from Hewlett Packard IIRC. bye, Uwe
